in thread RFC: Alter - Perl extension for Alter Ego Objects

I like the name - Alter. But then, maybe Alter::Ego. I don't believe the Object:: prefix adds much to it, since even so, looking at the name, one would ask "what the heck is Alter?". Seeing the ego method inside the package will give the "Aha!" - effect: so it's about the Alter Ego of an object, which is hidden to the outside! Nice.

But if you want to give it a "conventional" name - what about Object::Magic? It's that - magic, and relies on extension magic.

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
